BALLER MOVE: Target in Early Rounds as Low-End RB1
CURRENT ADP: 34 STD, 36 PPR
ANALYSIS: Going back to his days at Alabama, Mark Ingram showed himself to be a talented runner who could rise to the top echelon if he was given the right opportunity.
Unfortunately, Ingram was placed in a crowded Saints’ backfield and averaged less than 120 carries per season over his first three years. However, in 2014, Ingram finally took on the bulk of carries and put together a fantastic season.
Newly-signed C.J. Spiller should have little impact on Ingram as the number one back, given Spiller's inconsistencies. The decline of Drew Brees and the loss of Jimmy Graham should actually allow for an increase in carries for Ingram.
Last season finally gave us a glimpse into Ingram's potential, and next season he should officially take his place as a top-ten running back for years to come.
